Chapter 1756: Going to the city to see a doctor and settle down

Everyone bought daily necessities.

The village chief took everyone to find a small inn to rest.

The main reason for finding an inn to rest was that everyone was carrying a lot of goods and money.

If they didn't find an inn, so many people walking on the streets would definitely be robbed by the local gangs.

Of course, we just found an inn to rest, and the village chief also sent half of the people to guard the supplies.

The villagers took turns going out shopping and buying supplies for each household.

Su Mingzhe didn't lack anything, but he still followed everyone to the market and bought a lot of things.

Among them, there is a lock of immortality for her son, and also jade hairpins, bracelets and earrings for Alan.

Of course, things for women to do needlework are also indispensable.

I bought a lot of all kinds of stuff.

When Su Mingzhe returned to the inn, he saw the villagers gathered together, talking in low voices with serious expressions.

Su Mingzhe pulled over a young man from the village and asked him what had happened.

The young man frowned and whispered to Su Mingzhe:
"Uncle, just now someone in the village came to report that Uncle Gen was eaten by a river monster... Just now, when Grandpa Gen heard the news about Uncle Gen, he fainted and almost died... Fortunately, there was a clinic nearby, and the village chief had someone carry him there to get a few injections, which saved his life."

"Where is Master Gen now?"

Su Mingzhe looked up, but did not see the village chief and Gen Ye.

"Back to the village."

The young man heaved a sigh and said:
"Uncle Gen is gone this time, and only Aunt Gen and Changsheng and her daughter are left at home. If Uncle Gen doesn't go back, there won't even be anyone in charge of the family."

……

A fish monster appeared in the village, and people were no longer in the mood to continue purchasing supplies.

Early the next morning, everyone carried the supplies and rushed back.

The journey was supposed to take more than two days, but we returned in just one and a half days.

When the people who stayed behind in the village saw dozens of villagers returning with supplies, their restless hearts gradually calmed down.

With the help of the villagers, Gensao completed the funeral of her husband Changgen and expressed her gratitude to everyone.

Everyone is about to leave.

The village chief stopped everyone and said seriously:
"Everyone, don't rush to leave. There's a river monster in the river now, and no one dares to go fishing. I was thinking, why don't we pool our money and go to the city to find an exorcist. What do you think?"

"Village Chief, I agree!"

The villagers raised their hands to show their approval.

If we don’t find someone to catch the river monster while the tunnel is still passable, everyone will just have to sit and wait for death when the tunnel is flooded.

Seeing that everyone had a unanimous opinion, the village chief immediately selected a few young men to follow him and set out again to find an exorcist in the city.

……

night.

Su Mingzhe returned to his home and let Alan's father fall asleep first. Then he went back to the bedroom and took out the things he bought for his wife and children.

If the Changgen incident hadn't happened, Alan would definitely be very happy to see the man buying so many jewelry.

Now, she was holding the jewelry, but she couldn't smile at all.

"Alan, there is something I want to tell you."

Seeing that the woman had no interest, Su Mingzhe began to speak:
"This time when I went to the city, I found a doctor in the clinic and asked about my father-in-law's condition. The doctor said that my father-in-law's condition is not too serious and can be cured. It happens that the village chief is going to the city to invite an exorcist tomorrow, so why don't we go to the city together to treat my father-in-law, what do you think?"

"Huh? Okay."

Alan's mother died of illness when she was very young. She was raised by her father alone, and the relationship between father and daughter was very deep.

Now that she heard that her father's hemiplegia could be cured, she naturally didn't want to give up the opportunity.

Although he had expected it, Su Mingzhe still secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the woman agree.

……

If Su Mingzhe really wanted to help treat Alan's father's hemiplegia, he wouldn't have to use any magic. He could have cured it with just a few acupuncture treatments.

However, Su Mingzhe had been delaying until now just to wait for an opportunity to leave with honor. …

the next day.

The village chief wants to take people into the city to find an exorcist.

Su Mingzhe told his father-in-law that he was going to take him to the city for medical treatment.

Hundreds of good filial piety first.

Su Mingzhe, the son-in-law, is so filial to his father-in-law. As the manager of Taoyuan Fishing Village, the village chief should definitely promote this.

……

Two days and two nights later.

Everyone arrived at Qinghe City.

The village chief took two villagers to find an exorcist.

Su Mingzhe took his wife and children to a clinic to see his father-in-law.

The doctor in charge quickly finished taking the patient's pulse and made a diagnosis.

My father-in-law suffers from hemiplegia. Because he did not receive timely treatment, he has been bedridden for seven or eight years. If he wants treatment now, it will take several courses, which means several months, to be cured.

When Alan heard this, his eyes turned red with anxiety:

"Brother, let alone a few months, even if it's just a month, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back. What should we do?"

……

The tunnel leading to Taoyuan fishing village may be blocked again at any time due to a rainstorm.

Therefore, if you really stay in Qinghe City for a month or two to recuperate, don’t even think about going back.

And this is what Su Mingzhe planned.

……

Of course, Su Mingzhe couldn't tell his daughter what he was thinking. Facing the anxious woman, he could only find another excuse to comfort her:
"Alan, my father-in-law's illness can't be delayed. The doctor said that if he doesn't get treatment, he might die in three to five years at most. So, if we can't go back, then we can't go back. At worst, we can live in Qinghe City for a dozen years..."

"Are we really going to live here for more than ten years?"

Alan had never left Liangjie Mountain since he was a child. When he heard that he would have to live outside for more than ten years, he suddenly didn't know what to do.

"Alan, I'll take care of everything. Even if you live here for more than ten years, the money I bring will be enough for you to spend!"

Su Mingzhe took out his "savings" and showed it to the woman.

Money is the courage of heroes.

Although Alan is a weak woman, she also needs money to give her courage.

Sure enough, after seeing the man take out hundreds of taels of silver, Alan's worries about the future and fear of the unknown suddenly disappeared by 80%.

……

In this world, money can really solve many problems.

After confirming that he would live in Qinghe City for a long time, Su Mingzhe immediately went to find a real estate agent and bought a house with two entrances.

After settling his family, Su Mingzhe went to the market again and bought four servants: two men and two women.

Although Qinghe City is the capital of Qinghe State, there is a severe drought this year and many wealthy businessmen and wealthy people have gone bankrupt.

Su Mingzhe bought a two-story courtyard for only eighty taels of silver.

The four servants were even cheaper, costing less than fifty taels of silver in total.

Two of the girls, aged thirteen or fourteen, were dragged to the market by their parents, had grass stuck on their heads, and were sold on the street.

When Su Mingzhe entered the market, he saw that the two girls were so thin and pale from hunger that they almost looked like human beings.

Fortunately, he had a sharp eye and could tell at a glance that the two girls had good foundations. Even if they were not stunning beauties when they grew up, they would at least be pretty girls from ordinary families.

To this end, he was generous and spent twenty taels of silver to buy the two girls from their parents.

The two male servants were originally servants of a wealthy businessman. They made mistakes and the businessman was in financial difficulty, so they were sold.

Compared with the two girls, the two male servants cost Su Mingzhe twenty-five taels of silver.
